made nis pb a beloie the ninth annual
convention of the Association of Life
Insurance PiesldeiitM. which is consid-
ering nrloun problems involved in
loaning life Insurance funds on farm
mortgages. At present about six hun-
dred and sixty million dollars of life
insurance money n loaned on farms
principally in the South and West.
"The mo.d important and the most
neglected factor in American agri-
culture is that of soil enrichment"
said Dr. Hopkins. "For three cen-
turies the American farmer has drawn
tin; support of tin nation from the
fertility contained It: our virgin soils
with widespread soil depletion as a
result. When the land became too
poor to r-.ise a profitable crop by the
ordinary neaiis of soil stimulation thn
American farmer has as a general
rule allowed the farm to go back to
nature and he has either moved to
newer lands or joined the increasing
urban population.
! "The improvement of seed the uso
of tile drainage (lie invention and
general adoption of labor-saving
machinery the development of cheap
and rapid means of transportation
and the opening of the world's mar-
kets to cur farm products have all
